Bill Nighy to Guest

Big news today is the guest casting of the acclaimed veteran actor Bill Nighy in an episode of Doctor Who later this year.

Nighy – whose credits include Still Crazy, the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie, Love, Actually and the Underworld series – is unsurprisingly appearing in the episode written by Love, Actually writer Richard Curtis, expected to feature the Dutch impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh.

Of course this isn’t the first time Nighy has been linked to Doctor Who – back in 2004, the day that Christopher Eccleston was announced as the Ninth Doctor, Nighy was erroneously “annointed” by the Daily Mail as the new Doctor!

Richard Curtis is one of several comedy writers involved with Steven Moffat’s first series in charge of Doctor Who, with Men Behaving Badly writer Simon Nye also involved. It looks as though the Eleventh Doctor is going to be receiving a very rich selection of adventures – lucky Matt Smith!

A long-term Doctor Who fan, Christian grew up watching the show and has early memories of the Graham Williams era. His favourite stories are Inferno, The Seeds of Doom and Human Nature (although The Empty Child, Blink and Utopia all come close). When he’s not bossing around the news team, Christian is a freelance writer specialising in mobile technology and domestic computing, and enjoys classic rock, cooking and spending time in the countryside with his wife and young children. You can find him on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
